Nov 10-13 - Champaign, Illinois - BASEBALL MUSIC PROJECT.  I'm operating the video for this performance.  My job is to keep the video in sync with the live orchestra.  I could seriously sabotage the show if I were so inclined.

Nov 17 - filming video for Conspiracy Theory #1 with Kelli Kathman.   I decided to make a video for this electro-acoustic piece, because the piece involves a very powerful visual element (I think).  I'll probably post it on youtube once it's done.
